ThYme (the Thioester-active enzYme database) presents enzymes involved in fatty acid and polyketide synthesis,
as well as other enzymes acting on thioester-containing substrates. They are classified into families by amino
acid sequence and three-dimensional structure similarity. This continuously-updated database includes almost
all known sequences and three-dimensional structures of the related enzyme groups.

The purpose of this database is to provide the scientific community with a useful source of information
on these enzymes that can help predict active sites, catalytic residues, and mechanisms of individual sequences,
as well as providing a standardized nomenclature.
